SAP BRIM
SAP BRIM (Billing and Revenue Innovation Management) is SAP’s solution for high-volume, complex billing and revenue management in industries such as telecommunications, utilities, insurance and digital services. As organizations adopt subscription, usage-based and hybrid monetization models, SAP BRIM provides the platform for flexible billing, invoicing and revenue collection at scale. SAPinsider covers SAP BRIM implementation, S/4HANA integration and industry-specific billing transformation.
What is SAP BRIM?
SAP BRIM, formerly known as SAP Hybris Billing, is a modular application suite designed to manage high-volume, complex billing and revenue processes. It consists of four core components: Subscription Order Management (SOM), SAP Convergent Charging (CC), SAP Convergent Invoicing (CI) and Contract Accounts Receivable and Payable (FI-CA). These components work together to support the full billing cycle from order management through charging, invoicing and payment collection, integrated with SAP S/4HANA as a central financial system.
What use cases does SAP BRIM address?
- Subscription and recurring billing: SAP BRIM manages subscription lifecycle billing including monthly charges, renewals, upgrades and cancellations, supporting telecom, media and SaaS businesses with complex product catalog and pricing structures.
- Usage-based charging: SAP Convergent Charging rates and mediales usage data from networks, devices or platforms in real time, enabling accurate usage-based billing for telecom carriers, utilities and digital service providers.
- High-volume invoicing: SAP Convergent Invoicing consolidates charges from multiple sources into a single customer bill, handling millions of invoices per billing period with configurable formatting and delivery options.
- Customer account management: FI-CA handles open item management, dunning, payment processing and collections for large customer portfolios, replacing the standard SAP AR (FI-AR) module in high-volume B2C environments.
